bull3964 posted:Then really you should be looking at some of the hybrid watches out there. They handle notifications just fine and last far longer. From personal experience I moved from Android to iOS because of the Apple Watch. I still think the Pixels are better phones but the WearOS watches are laughably inferior and it sucks. I’m watching this space closely because I’d love a good Pixel Watch as an opportunity to move back in a year or two.

I'm trying to be excited about the Pixel Watch but everything about it just screams mediocre to me.

Rebus posted:Charged back up to full and put in on my wrist at 8pm, put sleep mode on at 9pm, it's now midnight and showing 66%. Yeah... To give you perspective I put mine on at 915 today. It's currently 4 and at 72% battery. I may be lucky but I'm not seeing... Any bad battery issues. At all.

I really like the Pixel Watch - they really nailed the Pixel feel of it. There's excellent integrations with Google's apps. If you are not interested in the Pixel ecosystem do not bother with it. The battery life is awful - I have to turn off the flip to wake to even get it through the day. By the time I go to bed at midnight or so it's at 30%. It's a small watch. My hand is average size and it looks small on me. It has a clear Gen 1 feel to it. There's definitely something... awesome there and I think in time it will be the king of the Android watches. If you are interested in trying Gen 1 tech that has a lot of really cool ideas ladened with clear shortcomings, sure, get the Pixel Watch. Otherwise I wouldn't bother, and this is coming from someone who daily drives it. I will say the thing I was most worried about, the bezels, is a non issue when wearing it. They do a really good job with the UI where you don't even think about them after ~2 hours of wearing it, and I haven't thought about it until sitting down to write this post.

bull3964 posted:What in the hell were you doing to yours? I would consistently get 30 hours with AoD on. For what it’s worth when I first got the PW1 the battery was *horrendous*. I had to turn off almost everything just to get basic AoD to work (with touch to wake, not even tilt to wake). It’s been absolutely great over the last…4 months or so? I heard stories the battery life on the PW1 had dramatically improved, and sure enough, it has. I have everything turned on and it’s reliably getting to ~40% battery left by end of day. It’s really odd, but it’s a significantly better watch than it was at launch.

I've got a Garmin Approach S62 that has filled all the need I'd want for a smart watch. I get all my notifications, I get tap to pay that works everywhere and it does honestly fantastic fitness tracking. The Garmin Health app is also really awesome. Plus since the battery life is an easy 7-10 days i get sleep tracking (which is free. This is all free.) without having to plan for it. The watch rules - I highly recommend the Garmin path if it interests you.
